I'm working on a raymarching renderer for my entry in the jam, and am doing the level design right now. I decided the courtyard needed a fountain: It's... something.

The game is currently a single 12kb .exe. Once I add sound and some game logic, I'm aiming for <64kb total.

After spending the majority of yesterday writing graphics code and doing the level design, I moved today onto writing physics and dynamic point lights. I was able to port our renderer's world definition to C++ and set up a sphere-based physics engine. After a bit (lots) of debugging, I've got a character who can run, jump, and generally do human things.

This evening, I added weapons to the game. By making them reflective, I can show off our world-space reflection system as well.

I'm up to 51,712 bytes out of my 64k limit/goal now that I've added the audio subsystem. Late last night I had to do a substantial refactoring to use a new build chain after the previous one didn't support the audio system I'm using. Unfortunately, the new audio subsystem doesn't do the thing I thought it did, but it's too late to revert. Tomorrow I'm focused on getting the basic game logic down as well as implementing the main mechanic (yet to be shown).

@rachmanin0xff and I will be rating games lots tonight and tomorrow. If you need a few more ratings to hit 20, comment below and we'll make sure to rate it! We'd appreciate it if you took a look at ours while you're at it (no obligations though)

Made in only 54kb, Omnibar is a simple arena shooter where you have a single bar that's your health, ammo, and xp. Every shot you fire uses part of your bar, but killing enemies regenerates it. If you've got a minute, play and rate our game, we'd really appreciate it!
